Employees today are keen to grow their careers with added responsibilities, rewards, and recognition. If they do not find those options within their own company they are not hesitant to find those opportunities in other organizations. The lack of visibility to career opportunities
within one’s own organization is one of the top reasons why employees are dissatisfied or leave and this factor alone rises to the top of negative scores in engagement surveys or exit interviews. As employers try to retain their high performing talent and provide an attractive attraction and retention proposition, they are providing greater visibility to career options with the data that employees need. This helps them significantly control costs that they are otherwise losing in terms of talent loss and the cost of rehiring people. Employees benefit by staying longer within the organization and gaining better career growth and development.
Gryd is a cloud-based application that gives employees visibility of career growth options within their own organizations. It provides a clear picture of the roles within an organization mapped against levels and functions. It also provides the expectations for each role in terms of behaviors, skills, experiences, compensation ranges and video-based stories of current role
holders. Using this tool, employees can navigate on their own and gain information on roles they are interested in exploring. They can use the information to make an informed decision on their desired career trajectory and take concrete steps to articulate a development plan with
input from their managers on how to get there.
Gryd is very intuitive and simple to use via desktop browsers and mobile devices. It provides a lot of information to an employee using minimal clicks and reflects the latest structure of an organization. The information is specific to an organization and data is kept in a private and safe manner.
